loss of a former major customer that completed its bankruptcy
liquidation earlier this year. The Company continued to broaden its
customer base, adding another 19 accounts in the third quarter across
consumer, tactical and sporting goods channels. “Retailers and
distributors see the power of the Mace Brand in the safety and security
business segment. This provides Mace with opportunities to continue its
top line growth”, said Mace President and CEO John J. McCann.
